الوصف: Punica granatum L. is a small deciduous shrub belonging to Lythraceae family, commonly called pomegranate. Already known since ancient times, pomegranate is nowadays widely cultivated throughout the Mediterranean region, as well Africa, Asia, and South America. Its attractive red-purple fruit is considered as one of the oldest edible fruit still consumed worldwide fresh or as a juice. Traditionally employed for the treatment of various ailments, pomegranate is included today among the richest fruits in health-promoting substances, including polyphenols as anthocyanins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and both hydrolyzable and condensed tannins. As a by-product of the juice production, pomegranate peels are a bio-waste of environmental impact. On the other hand, pomegranate peels are attracting a great attention for their beneficial properties, still known in the traditional medicine and recently discovered due to scientific studies reporting anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, wound‐healing, and antioxidant properties attributed due to their high content in polyphenols. The cultivation of pomegranate has a long tradition in the Southern Italian internal areas and recently is strongly encouraged to promote the rural and agricultural development of many depopulated internal villages. Taking into account all the benefits in promoting pomegranate products, the aim of this study was the exploration of fourteen pomegranate varieties from internal areas of South Italy, focusing the investigation on both the chemical composition and biological properties of the peels. The whole fruits were separated into arils and peels, thus the latter were extracted using ethanol-water (70% v/v) by ultrasound assisted extraction for 15 min. The dried extracts were subjected to an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a high resolution electrospray ionization source mass spectrometer (UHPLC-HR-ESI-MS) for the chemical profiling. Furthermore, DPPH and ABTS+-based radical scavenger assay, MTT assay, and in vitro ...
